A Very Special Personal Dedication

The very first person I ever knew with lymphedema, other than myself, was my own grandmother.

Marion Ada Norman Hammock

1883-1963

Born and raised in southern Georgia in the Moultrie/Norman Park area, she had stage three lymphedema in her left leg.

Back in those days, her condition was referred to as “milk leg,” and she never received any treatment, help, or even support. Despite that, she was a loving and caring mom who lost several children in childbirth, including a set of twins, but raised nine other children. How I wish the same help that we have today would have been available to her back then. She passed away just shy of her 80th birthday and it wasn't from lymphedema.

This is to you grandma, I love you and still often think of you.
